About the Retiring Accessories

Earlier this week I posted about the Stamp sets that are retiring.  And I wrote that the Accessories list will be out on April 25th.  Here is some important information about the retiring accessories:

The Retiring Accessories List (buttons, ribbons, ink refills, paper, etc) is going to be released on April 25th.

Unlike the Stamps list, this list changes daily because the stock sells out quickly and they don’t restock it.  So, when their stock of accessories is gone, it’s gone!

***2010 IN COLORS are retiring****

Concord Crush

Poppy Parade

Peach Parfait

 

 

 

 Pear Pizzazz

Blushing Bride  

 

 

 

If you own Poppy Parade, Concord Crush, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz or Peach Parfait, please do not wait until the 25th to order the coordinating ink refills, card stock or ribbons! Order ASAP to ensure that they are not sold out before you can order yours!

You can also order online on my Demonstrator Website at www.AmandaMorris.stampinup.net

You will need to create a Stampin’ Up login and password if you have not done it already to be able to shop and there is a minimum $6.95 shipping charge for orders under $69.50 and after that it’s the standard 10%.  You should order quickly or take your chances that it MIGHT be on the Clearance Rack.  (retired stamps won’t be on the clearance rack  – those will be unavailable after May 31st. )

If you order accessories from me, I will get the order in ASAP and email you back a confirmation so you’ll know I got it.  Sometimes things sell out as you are ordering so early is better.  To be extra sure that you get it before it sells out shop in my online store.

Hundreds of stamps and accessories from the 2011-2012 catalogs are retiring, and this is your chance to get them before they're gone. Many products are only available while supplies last, so be sure to get your orders in early!
When you view the retiring stamps list, you may notice it's longer than in years past.

June Inkspired Tour, 2010

Beinvenidos, to the June edition of our Inkspired Tour.  This is a monthly blog tour showcasing the art of 14 stampers from across the country and Puerto Rico.  I hope you enjoyed seeing the creations of Miami stamper, Martha, from her blog Stamp Art Papel.  Be sure to check back on the 15th of every month to follow the designs of these talented artists.

Momentos de la Vida Card

The first card I created for the tour uses the beautiful stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog, called Momentos (the English version is called Elements of Style). 

Amanda’s Stamp Pad Tips:

• My favorite tool to use (and cheapest) is my nail.  I used my nail to rough up the edge of the Not Quite Navy cardstock to give it dimension. (you’ll see a rougher version on my third project below “Embrace Life with Smooches”)

  Fabric Flower Pin on Fancy Favor

This little bag is so cute and easy to make!  And the bonus is the flower pin that I made and attached to the ribbon. 

The bag is created by simply running a sheet of Bella Bleu Designer Series paper through the Big Shot using the Stampin’ Up! exclusive die,  Fancy Favor.  I assembled the box, tied a ribbon around and pinned the flower to the ribbon.  Hey, this Bella Bleu DSP will no longer be available after June 30!  If you want it, be sure to place an order now.

Now, about that flower!  This fabulously chic pin was created with the Big Shot and the Heat Tool. 

Fabric Flower Tutorial

• Die-cut multiple pieces of synthetic fabric with the Circles #2 Die (I’ve also made gorgeous flowers using the Scallop Circles #2 Die).  Important, the fabric needs to be synthetic if you want this look, because you need the fabric to melt.
• Layer the fabric pieces on top of one another, and use a brad to hold them together. 
• Heat the fabric, starting in the center of the top layer, moving the heat tool around and towards the outer edges.  TIP:  I used a paper piercer to lift each layer of fabric as I was heating.
• The fabric will start to melt quickly, so keep an eye on it!
• Then just finesse the fabric to get the look you want.

Embrace Life with Smooches Card

I will really miss this Embrace Life Stamp Set and Bella Bleu Designer Series paper when they both retire at the end of this month.  If you will too, contact me to place an order or place one online by visiting my online store . 

 

 

There is a subtle sparkle to the Old Olive cardstock on this card.  That comes from the Silver Foil Smooch Spritz in the Summer Mini Catalog. Admit it, you love saying “Smooch Spritz” as much as I do. 

You can really see the difference in this photo comparing the two cards and the old olive cardstock.  See the Silver Foil Smooch spritz on the card on the left?

 

I hope you enjoy the rest of the tour. Check out the next stop which will bring you to Puerto Rico’s talented Marcia Santiago and her blog Stampin’ With Marcia.

STAMPIN' UP! COLORS RETIRING ON JULY 1:
You might want to stock up on your favorite colors that are retiring this June. If you use any of these colors a lot I would suggest a fresh Classic Re-Inker to keep that ink pad going for years to come and a pack or two of card stock in your favorite size. The products will be available as normal through May 31.  Then from June 1- June 30, the colors will only be available while supplies last!

 

This card uses the retiring color Summer Sun for the card base and on the flower.  The Designer series paper is Pink Flamingo and the technique used on the flower is “rock and roll”.
